Expert Tips

While precut bagged broccoli florets make an easy shortcut, you can also cut your own. One large head of broccoli will provide plenty of florets for this recipe.
We used chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts in this recipe so that the chicken is still tender by the time the rice is cooked through.
